48th Street Grille

Run by a chef and his wife who make a point of greeting tables directly, the dining room is anchored by genuine hospitality and a diverse neighborhood crowd. The kitchen works with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, dishing out specific favorites like curry shrimp with cabbage, rice, and cornbread alongside comfort staples such as chicken and waffles. It is an unpretentious setup that has earned formal notice too, recognized by Visit Philly as one of the city’s top Cajun and Caribbean destinations.
